Is That Grace?

Brennan asked meekly from the back of the van, "Mom, is that grace?" He was referring to the candy she had bought the boys while in the convenience store. The boys had previously been in trouble for their bad behavior.

"Yes, Brennan, that's exactly what that was, grace."

A few months earlier, Shannon had the boys at the same gas station dealing with the same bad behavior. She held three frozen slushies (and their attention) in her hands as she explained that grace was getting what we don't deserve.

Little did we know how closely they were listening.

Sorry, this is not related to this post (but that is amazing)

I forgot to mention to you that I posted a blog and wrote about how the power kept flicking on and off during Easter service and a friend of mine from Southeastern Colorado told me theirs did the exact same thing...just as they said, "Jesus died and was put in the tomb." And they had clear blue skies too. Coincedence? I think not.
